Ikke-grafiske kunstformer

Fra det gamle, sprudlende Europa skrev Georg Simmel (1858-1918) sine banebrydende essays. Simmel er en af bysociologiens grundlæggere og skriver om Rom, Firenze og Venedig. Som midtpunkt for flere intellektuelle kredse var han en absolut hovedskikkelse i sin samtid og ven med bl.a. Auguste Rodin, Rainer Maria Rilke og Max Weber. Tyngdens æstetik præsenterer et udpluk af Simmels skrifter i form af ti essays, der er relevante både for arkitekten og den kunstinteresserede. Bogen er illustreret med værker af bl.a. Michelangelo, Bernini, Toyokuni I, Christen Købke, Rodin og J.F. Willumsen. Joachim Wiewiura har skrevet introduktion til Simmels tid og tænkning. Joachim Wiewiura (f.1987), ph.d. i filosofi fra Københavns Universitet, udvekslingsophold ved University og Oxford og MIT. Han er ansat ved Institut for Kommunikation og Psykologi, AAU, og har bl.a. udgivet bøgerne Offentlighedens rum (2019), Simmel (2019), If Schools Didn't Exist (2020), Den politiske filosofis historie (2022) og Offentlighed og legitimitet (2024).

Against All Odds – Historical Women and New Algorithms explores the lives and works of 24 Nordic artists around 1900 through pioneering combinations of historical reinscribing and new technology. These women defied the gender norms of their time, formed their own communities across Europe and succeeded against all odds. Later, several were written out of art history. Why? Is it possible to write these women into the narrative that excluded them without changing the story? Discover how technology, critical thinking and art merge in a tribute to pioneers of the past. Through cross-aesthetic approaches, immersive installations and AI-generated dialogues, the exhibition and catalogue challenge our understanding of the past and open new perspectives on art history.

I denne bog viser Moa Brännström Ott, hvordan du kommer i gang med at snitte, hvordan du får fat i træ, og hvilke snittegreb du skal kunne. Trin for trin lærer du at snitte lige skeer, bøjede skeer, smørknive, spatler og kopper, du kan have med på tur. Du lærer også, hvordan du holder kniven skarp og plejer din økse.”Når jeg snitter, bliver jeg rolig indeni. Det er min måde at slappe af på, og samtidig minder det mig om skoven – et sted, jeg altid savner, når jeg ikke er der. Skeer, grydeskeer og salatbestik er ting, jeg tit bruger i køkkenet, og hver gang minder de mig også om, hvor vigtigt det er for mig at skabe noget. Selv noget så beskedent som en smørkniv i birketræ,” fortæller forfatteren.

”Uanset svingninger i smagen, der har gjort sig gældende over for Thorvaldsen som billedhugger, og den stilperiode han tilhører, vil han bevare sig urokket, for alle tider uden jævnbyrdige, som arbejder, håndværker i eminent forstand, kyndigere og mere produktiv, og med en mere ubetinget international anerkendelsen end nogen anden, før eller siden.”Johannes V. Jensen, en af de største danske forfattere, fortæller om en af de største danske kunstnere, billedhuggeren Bertel Thorvaldsen. Johannes V. Jensen, der selv var billedhugger og kendte teknikkerne bag, beskriver eminent Thorvaldsens teknikker som håndværker og fortæller endvidere om mennesket bag talentet.Bogen udkom første gang i 1938 og er en god introduktion til Bertel Thorvaldsen og hans værker.Johannes Vilhelm Jensen (1873-1950) var en dansk forfatter og digter, der i 1944 modtog Nobelprisen i litteratur. Han debuterede som forfatter i 1896 med romanen ”Danskerne” og udgav sidenhen en perlerække af romaner, noveller, essays, rejseskildringer og myter. Johannes V. Jensen, der selv var billedhugger, udgav flere portrætter om den store danske billedhugger Bertel Thorvaldsen. Han modtog en lang række legater og udmærkelser for sit store litterære arbejde og var blandt andet æresdoktor ved Lunds Universitet og modtager af statens livsvarige kunstnerydelse og det anckerske legat. Johannes V. Jensen er særligt kendt for sin historiske roman ”Kongens fald”, der er optaget i Kulturkanonen.

In her sculptures, installations, films, and interventions in public spaces, Croatian artist Luiza Margan explores the disparity between officially recorded history and history which is invisible. She questions the ways in which power structures and ideological systems are etched into the public sphere and interwoven into collective memory.The installation Cache, created in the course of the Artist-in-Residence-Program of the ZF Kunststiftung, examines the traces of National Socialist rule left in the city of Friedrichshafen. The title alludes to a hidden location, a concealed storehouse for information.

The artist duo Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset continues to devise new ways of presenting and perceiving art through their subversive and versatile work. The updated and expanded edition of Elmgreen & Dragset: Sculptures is the most comprehensive study to date of the duo's sculptures from the mid-1990s to the present day. Visually designed to reflect the aesthetic and concep-tual working methods developed by the artist duo over the course of their careers, the book features detailed photographic documentation as well as four seminalessays on the artist duo's oeuvre. MICHAEL ELMGREEN (*Denmark) and INGAR DRAGSET (*Norway) have been working together since 1995. Their work explores socio-cultural and political themes such as the challenges of growing up, queer issues, the construction of identity, consumer culture, and the privatization of public space. The artist duo has received numerous prizes, including the Preis der Nationalgalerie in Berlin (2002) and a Special Mention at the Venice Biennale (2009).

This publication gives a comprehensive overview of the work of Italian artist Alberto Garutti. His innovative oeuvre, consisting primarily of sculptures, installations, and works in public space, explores site-specificity along with its social realities and historical contexts. With the artistic and methodological strategies he has employed since the 1990s, he has revolutionized the vocabulary of public and site-specific art. ALBERTO GARUTTI (1948-2023) has been a key figure on the Italian and European contemporary art scene of the last forty years. Since the early 1990s, Garutti's practice has evolved into a radical manifesto for public art. His works in the urban context-commissioned by cities and institutions around the world-are meant to be open devices for reimaging. As a practitioner of public art and a teacher at the Academy of Brera in Milan and at the IUAV in Venice who has influenced many generations of Italian artists, Alberto Garutti is considered one of the most influential Italian artists of his generation.

In her works, Nina Annabelle Märkl (b. 1979) develops permeable viewing spaces that lie at the interface between drawing, object, and installation. The viewers move through landscape-like settings in modular spatial installations, entering into various dialogues with the works. In addition, through the shift in perspective, they can experience the possibility of seeing themselves in their own observations and can question the structures of their perception.The monograph Scapes unites various strands of Nina Annabelle Märkl's work in the diversity of their links and leaps between drawing and spatiality, which follow on from one another in the diversity of manifestation or interpenetrate one another in individual arrangements.

Überleben ist eine gemeinschaftliche Praxis. Wir können es nicht allein tun; wir brauchen einander. Wir brauchen Werkzeuge und Praktiken, die uns helfen, uns zu verbinden, zu verstehen, gemeinsam zu bauen, zu überleben in diesem Zeitalter der Klimakrise, des technologischen Umbruchs, des existenziellen Schmerzes. Wir brauchen Worte, Werte und Ideen, die über den menschlichen Raum hinausgehen. Wir müssen lernen; und wir müssen verlernen. Wir brauchen ein Handbuch fürs Überleben.Die Kunst in diesem Buch setzt sich mit der Natur auseinander, mit den planetarischen, transzendentalen Fragen der globalen Zusammenhänge sowie mit der Gemeinschaft, dem Sinn für das Spielerische, der Zusammengehörigkeit und den gemeinsamen Erfahrungen durch die Kultur. Ein hochwertiges und reich bebildertes Buch mit innovativen Texten, die der Idee folgen, dass wir lernen müssen, in Widersprüchen zu leben und zu denken, ohne uns selbst zu verlieren.Künstler*innen:Panteha Abareshi, Yalda Afsah, Abbas Akhavan, Assemble, Mohammed Bourouissa, Andrea Bowers, James Bridle, Sam Chermayeff, Edith Dekyndt, Simon Denny, Cao Fei, Liam Gillick, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Lubiana Himid, Leon Kahane, Kablusiak, Paul Kolling, Carolyn Lazard, Sharon Lockhart, Taus Makhacheva, Shaun Motsi, Goshka Macuga, Jota Mombaça, New Red Order (NRO), Olaf Nicolai, Christelle Oyiri, Celine Pages & Christine Marchal, Trevor Paglen, Grayson Perry, Bruno Serralongue, Jeremy Shaw, Charles Stankievech, Ron Terada, Syrus Marcus Ware, Emmanuel Van der Auwera, u.a.

Conceived as an archive, the book brings together the experiences of Frequencies, a global participatory project initiated by multimedia artist Oscar Murillo in 2013. Part of the artist's multimedia practice, Frequencies addresses the notion of community through the lens of its making. For over a decade, it has involved members of Murillo's family, studio team and collaborators, visiting schools around the globe, fixing raw canvas onto classroom desks, and inviting the students to freely mark, write and draw on them for a period of approximately six months. Murillo has collected an archive of canvases, which he presented in various interactive exhibitions. OSCAR MURILLO (*1986, La Paila, Colombia) has developed a multi-faceted and ambitious practice that spans painting, collaborative projects, video, sound and installation. He received his MFA from the Royal College of Art in 2012 and was one of four artists to collectively win the prestigious Turner Prize in 2019.

This book is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish-Belgian artist Tapta (Maria Wierusz-Kowalska). Her work transcends traditional artistic boundaries, captivating audiences with her innovative exploration of fluid spaces and dynamic interactions. Her work, an important contribution to twentieth century sculpture, is essentially divided into two major sections: the textile works of the 1960s to 1980s and the subsequent neoprene works of the last years of her life. Her practice moved away from traditional weaving through experimental techniques and evolved into three-dimensional works-first made of cords, then of neoprene sheets-that interacted with the space and the viewer. TAPTA (*1926-1997) was born in Poland and came to Belgium as a political refugee with her husband, Krzysztof Wierusz-Kowalski, after taking part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. She studied weaving at the La Cambre National School of Visual Arts, Brussels, from where she graduated in 1949. Shortly afterwards, the couple moved to the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), where they lived from 1950 to 1960. On their return to Belgium in 1960, until her sudden death in 1997, she worked in Brussels as an artist and-from 1976 until 1990-as a professor at La Cambre.

Marco Stanke (*1987) wurde 60 Jahre nach Alf Lechner (1925-2017) geboren. Trotzdem weisen ihre künstlerischen Positionen vielschichtige Bezüge auf. In Stankes Malereien ist die Leinwand nicht bloß ein Bildträger. Seine Arbeiten sind vielmehr räumliche Gebilde aus Nessel, Keilrahmen und Farbe. Stanke faltet, schneidet, biegt, stapelt und durchbohrt die Leinwände und erprobt die körperlichen Grenzen des Bildes, das er in den Raum ausdehnt. Seine Werke sind teils Bild, teils Relief oder Skulptur, und erst im Zusammenspiel dieser unterschiedlichen "Teile", wie Stanke selbst sie nennt, ergibt sich am Ende das vollständige Bild.Hierin besteht die vordergründigste Verbindung zu Lechner, dessen Skulpturen ebenfalls als Fragmente eines kontinuierlichen Arbeitsprozesses betrachtet werden müssen. Zentral hierfür ist seine Praxis der Teilung, in deren Folge räumliche Beziehungen zwischen den Fragmenten und den Betrachter*innen erforscht und materialbezogene Herstellungsprozesse offengelegt werden können, ganz im Sinne seiner Maxime: "Durch Teilen ist es möglich, mehr über das Ganze zu erfahren."Dieser Ansatz klingt im Titel der Kataloges teil's teil's wider, der als Aufforderung zu verstehen ist, tiefer in Materien einzutauchen. Darüber hinaus suggeriert der Titel auch, dass etwas nicht klar zuordbar ist und verweist so auf die Zusammenstellung von Stankes und Lechners Arbeiten und die gemischte Natur des Ausstellungskonzepts.

Die Publikation präsentiert Skulpturen, Videos, Leinwände und Teppiche von Halil Altindere und erscheint anlässlich seiner Einzelausstellung in der Pilot Galerie in Istanbul (23.11.2023 - 20.01.2024).Halil Altindere (*1971 in Mardin/Türkei, lebt und arbeitet in Istanbul) setzt sich in seinen Arbeiten häufig mit konkreten politischen Inhalten auseinander, auch mit Bezug auf seine kurdischen Wurzeln und der Multikulturalität in der türkischen Gesellschaft. In seinen Werken beschäftigt er sich mit einer Vielzahl an Fragestellungen und beleuchtet Methoden des Widerstands gegen Macht und Unterdrückung, wobei er sich mit Themen wie Subkulturen, Geschlechterrollen, Popkultur oder der Struktur und Macht von Kunst- und Finanzsystemen beschäftigt.Die Publikation versammelt Arbeiten der letzten drei Jahre, in denen zunehmend die Grenzen zwischen Kunst und Leben Altinderes verschwimmen. Die Folgen der Pandemie, die die Welt erschütterte, finden ebenso Widerhall in seinen Werken wie die neue Vater-Rolle des Künstlers. Darüber hinaus macht Altindere zunehmend von den Möglichkeiten künstlicher Intelligenz Gebrauch und setzt KI-Technologie als eine Art persönlichen Assistenten ein, der eine aktive Rolle im Produktionsprozess seiner Werke einnimmt.

Glæd dig til mødet med kunsten. Den er livsforandrende.Du bliver i bookazine no. 10 præsenteret for både udøvende kunstnere og deres praksis og for håndværkere, hvis viden og kunnen muliggør værkproduktion, ligesom du møder billedskolerektor, museumsdirektør og gallerist og inviteres med til det finske kunstnersamfund i Fiskars. I min samtale med designer Birgitte Due Madsen introducerer hun sin materialebaserede arbejdsmetode, som hun kalder fra ‘fra unika til duplika’. Hun ser sig dermed tilbage og læner sig op ad en lang tradition, hvor kunstnere og kunsthåndværkere har vekslet mellem at udkomme med kunst og at have samarbejder med virksomheder, som har seriefremstillet deres designs. Sådan var det for eksempel for Axel Salto, som i skrivende stund er udstillet på Clay Keramik Museum Danmark. Han er i øvrigt i (sviger)familie med Rikke Salto, som du også kan møde, hun fortæller om sit arbejde med at skabe messehagler i samarbejde med Selskabet for Kirkelig Kunst.“Der er nogle få, det går rigtig godt for, men det er ikke nok at være en god kunstner, man skal også forstå branchens dynamik og være god til at omgås andre”, sådan konkluderer Søren Ellitsgaard. Han har siden 2003 stået bag Litografisk Atelier, som samarbejder med en lang række anerkendte samtidskunstnere om udgivelse af litografiske tryk.Desuden skal man, inden man vier sit liv til en kunstnerisk karriere, have en accept af, at man højst sandsynligt kommer til at leve med at have patchworkøkonomi. Hvilke lapper, som kan inkluderes i et sådant patchwork, taler jeg med billedkunstner Pernille Kapper Williams om. Et bookazine om kunst, om præmissen, om nødvendigheden af og kærligheden til at skabe, om vedholdenhed og selvtillid, om ler, bronze, harelim og pigmenter, om tekstiler, træ og sten.God læselyst, designer, skribent og fotograf, Rigetta Klint

Stanley Schtinter's debut collection, Last Movies, is an alternative account of the first century of cinema according to the films watched by a constellation of its most notable stars shortly before (or at the time of) their deaths. An extensive and exhaustive research project-a holy book of celluloid spiritualism and old canards-Schtinter questions and reconfigures common knowledge to recast the historic column inches of cinema's mythological hearsay into a thousand-yard stare. Via a series of interlinked vignettes, here we've a book in which Manhattan Melodrama, directed by W.S. Van Dyke and George Cukor, is seen by American gangster John Dillinger, only for him to be gunned down by federal agents upon leaving the cinema. In which George Cukor watches The Graduate, and dies thereafter. In which Bette Davis-given her break by Cukor-watches herself in Waterloo Bridge (the 1940 remake Cukor had been meant to direct), before travelling to France and failing to make it back to Hollywood. In which Rainer Werner Fassbinder watches Bette Davis in Michael Curtiz's 20,000 Years in Sing Sing, and suffers the stroke that kills him. In which John F. Kennedy watches From Russia with Love at a private 'casa-blanca' screening prior to the presidential motorcade reaching Dealey Plaza; in which Burt Topper's War is Hell exists only in a fifteen-minute cut, considering this is as much as Lee Harvey Oswald would have seen at the Texas Theatre in the wake of JFK's killing.Including a foreword from Erika Balsom-an 'intermission' by Bill Drummond-and an afterword by Nicole Brenez, Last Movies is a love letter to those that've lived (and died) amidst the patina and glow of cinema's counterpoint to life. Like Hermione Lee 'at the movies,' and redolent of the works of Kenneth Anger, Last Movies antagonises the possibility of survival in an age of extremity and extinction only to underline the degree of accident involved in a culture's relationship with posterity.

For the first time in recent history, a publication on Alberto Giacometti and his work is being released in Denmark. The book is published in connection with the exhibition "Alberto Giacometti – What Meets the Eye" and has been created through an exclusive collaboration between the Fondation Giacometti in Paris and SMK in Copenhagen.In the catalog, readers get up close to Giacometti's works and the research concept behind the exhibition. The catalog includes key, newly translated original texts by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and Giacometti himself, along with four current articles by Danish and French researchers. Notably, it also features illustrations of the exhibition's works in a new, improved quality, presented in a way that supports the research points and the exhibition's concept.The focal point is Giacometti's break with the surrealist environment, of which he was a part until 1934-35, and the affinity seen between his late work and post-war phenomenologically inspired thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In addition to presenting the thinking and experiences that underlie Giacometti's artistic method, the book also provides insight into post-war Paris, the places, and personalities that Giacometti surrounded himself with.

Anfang der 1960er-Jahre formulierte Franz Erhard Walther (geb. 1939 in Fulda, lebt und arbeitet ebenda) im Umfeld des Minimalismus einen offenen Werkbegriff, der die Betrachter*in als Akteur*in miteinbezieht. Walther erhob die Handlung zum Werk und beeinflusste damit ganze Generationen von Künstler*innen. Aufgrund seiner andauernden Aktualität und Relevanz für die gegenwärtige Kunst sowie zu Ehren seines 85. Geburtstages plant die Bundeskunsthalle für das Jahr 2024 eine große Übersichtsausstellung zu seinem Werk.   Die Ausstellung in Kooperation mit der Franz Erhard Walther Foundation zeigt eine konzentrierte, repräsentative Auswahl von handlungsbasierten Werken und Zeichnungen "als Innenblick" aus verschiedenen Perioden sowie filmische Dokumentationen. Eigens angefertigte Exhibition Copies können von den Besucher*innen aktiviert werden. Durch die Interaktion zwischen Körper und Objekt wird jede*r selbst zum Teil des Kunstwerks. Der Katalog enthält einen umfangreichen Bildteil und einen ausführlichen Textteil mit Essays von u. a. Selen Ansen, Luisa Fink, Gregor Quack, Erik Verhagen und Peter Weibel.  "Bilder im Kopf, Körper im Raum"- Franz Erhard Walther     Action As Sculpture  In the early 1960s, Franz Erhard Walther (b. Fulda, 1939; lives and works in Fulda), moving in the orbit of the Minimal Art movement, devised an open conception of art that involves the beholders as active participants. His understanding of their actions as the actual work would inspire entire generations of artists. In recognition of his abiding influence and relevance to contemporary art and in celebration of his eighty-fifth birthday, the Bundeskunsthalle is planning a grand exhibition surveying his oeuvre to be held in 2024.  Produced in cooperation with the Franz Erhard Walther Foundation, the exhibition presents a focused and representative selection of action-based works as well as drawings from different periods that provide "inside views" and documentary footage. Visitors will be encouraged to activate the exhibition copies produced especially for the occasion. In the interaction between body and object, everyone becomes part of the work of art. The catalogue features an extensive image section and a text part with wide-ranging and in-depth essays by Selen Ansen, Luisa Fink, Gregor Quack, Erik Verhagen, Peter Weibel, and others.

Inmitten der bis heute wegweisenden Konzeptkunst der 1970er-Jahre und im Umfeld der feministischen Avantgarde entwickelte Rose English (geb. 1950 Hereford, GB) ihre einzigartige Arbeitsweise. Heute zählt sie zu den einflussreichsten Performance-Künstler*innen mit einem außergewöhnlich vielschichtigen OEuvre. In ihrem Werk verbindet sie Elemente von Theater, Zirkus, Oper, Comedy und Poesie, um die Themen der Geschlechterpolitik, der Identität von Performer*innen und der Metaphysik der Präsenz - die eigentliche Natur von Performance - interdisziplinär zu erforschen. Sie kollaboriert in ihrer künstlerischen Praxis immer wieder mit einer Vielzahl an Mitwirkenden, darunter Musiker*innen, Sänger*innen, Tänzer*innen, Filmemacher*innen, Zirkusartist*innen, Zauber*innen und auch Dressurpferden.  Die Publikation Memory Theatre erscheint im Rahmen von Englishs Einzelausstellung im Museum der Moderne Salzburg. Das Buch gibt einen explorativen Überblick in  das 50 Jahre umspannende Werk der Künstlerin. Neben zahlreichen Abbildungen und Dokumentationen der Performances enthält der Katalog Essays von Connie Butler,  Paul Clinton, Nicole Haitzinger, Lisa Moravec, Marijana Schneider und Amy Tobin.    Ballet, Dressage, Baroque in Service to Feminism  Rose English (b. Hereford, UK, 1950) developed her singular practice surrounded by the conceptual art of the 1970s, which remains seminal today, and in the orbit of the feminist avant-garde. Boasting an extraordinarily diverse oeuvre, she ranks among the most influential performance artists of our time. Her art combines elements of theater, circus, opera, comedy, and poetry for an interdisciplinary investigation of themes including the politics of gender, the identities of performers, and the metaphysics of presence-the true nature of performance. Many of her works have been collaborative productions involving a large cast of participants such as musicians, singers, dancers, filmmakers, circus artists, magicians, and even dressage horses.  The publication Memory Theatre is released on occasion of English's solo exhibition at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg. Presenting an exploratory survey of the artist's oeuvre, which now spans five decades, the richly illustrated catalogue contains extensive documentation as well as essays by Connie Butler, Paul Clinton, Nicole Haitzinger, Lisa Moravec, Marijana Schneider, and Amy Tobin.

"The first catalogue raisonnâe on influential artist Tony Smith, to be released with a companion book of critical commentary: Against Reason, a new model expanding the conventional catalogue raisonnâe"--

For første gang i nyere tid udkommer en publikation på dansk om Alberto Giacometti og hans arbejde. Bogen udgives i forbindelse med udstillingen Alberto Giacometti – Hvad øjet ser og er blevet til i et eksklusivt samarbejde mellem Fondation Giacometti i Paris og SMK i København. I kataloget kommer man helt tæt på Giacomettis værker og forskningsideen bag udstillingen. Kataloget rummer centrale, nyoversatte originaltekster af filosoffen Jean-Paul Sartre og Giacometti selv, fire aktuelle artikler af danske og franske forskere og ikke mindst illustrationer af udstillingens værker i ny, forbedret kvalitet, præsenteret på en måde, der underbygger forskningspointerne og udstillingens ide. Omdrejningspunktet er Giacomettis brud med det surrealistiske miljø, som han var en del af indtil 1934-35, og det slægtskab, som man gerne ser mellem hans sene værk og efterkrigstidens fænomenologisk inspirerede tænkere som Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre og Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Ud over at præsentere den tænkning og de erfaringer, der lå bag Giacomettis kunstneriske metode, giver bogen også et indblik i efterkrigstidens Paris, de steder og personligheder Giacometti omgav sig med.

Kann Kunst heilen? Die Welt zu einem besseren Ort machen? Zenita Komad möchte mit ihrer Arbeit genau das. Sie wendet sich mit außergewöhnlichen grafischen und skulpturalen Werken, Objektbildern, Installationen und Inszenierungen, mit klaren oder rätselhaften, kraftvollen, tiefgründigen, poetischen und oft auch witzigen Botschaften an die Menschen, um auf der Basis einer Verständigung zwischen unterschiedlichen Überzeugungen, Weltanschauungen und interreligiöser Spiritualität für eine gemeinsame Verantwortung für die Welt zu werben - denn alles steht mit allem in Verbindung.NIE WIEDER KRIEG!
